                          As we down here, struggle for as long as we know In search of a paradise to touch (my nigga Johnny J) Dreams are dreams, and reality seems to be the only place to go The only place for us I know, try to make the best of bad situations Seems to be my life's story Ain't no glory in pain, a soldier's story in vain And can't nobody live this life for me It's a ride you all, a long hard ride

Somebody wake me, I'm dreaming, 
I started as a seed, the semen swimming upstream, 
Planted in the womb while screaming on the top, was my pops, My momma screaming stop from a single drop
This is what they got not to disrespect my peoples
But my poppa was a loser.

Only plan he had for momma was to fuck her and abuse her 
Even as a little seed, 
I could see his plan for me Stranded on welfare, 
Another broken family 
Now what was I to be, a product of this heated passion 
Momma got pregnant, and poppa got a piece of ass 
Look how it began, nobody gave a fuck about me 
Pistol in my hand, this cruel world can do without me 
How can I survive? Got me asking white Jesus will a nigga live or die, 
'Cause the Lord can't see us in the deep dark clouds of the projects, ain't no sunshine 
No sunny days and we only play sometimes 
When everybody's sleeping I open my window jump to the streets and get to creeping I can live or die, 
Hope I get some money 'fore I'm gone I'm only 19, 
I'm trying to hustle on my own on the spot where everybody and they pops trying to slang rocks 
I'd rather go to college, but this is where the game stops 
Don't get it wrong 'cause it's always on, from dusk to dawn 
You can buy rocks glocks or a herringbone 
You can ask my man he's a mind reader 
Keep my nine heated all the time this is how we grind 
Meet up at the cemetery then get smoked out, pass the weed nigga 
That Hennessey'll keep me keyed nigga 
Everywhere I go niggaz holla at me, 
"Keep it real G" And my reply till they kill me 
Act up if you feel me, I was born not to make it but I did. 
The tribulations of a ghetto kid, still I rise.
